I've often joked about my tongue feeling like it might break from the dryness of it, but yours is no joking matter. I believe I would seek treatment ASAP. You didn't mention bleeding, so I'm assuming it's not. Have you spoken with your RO? You had no surgery, but I think I would feel better if the ENT I saw was as a referral from one of the oncology Docs and experienced with oncology patients himself.
